| - I LOVE BBQ. I've been dying to try Union Pig & Chicken for a while now; the man and I finally stopped by today.
We walked in and were ignored. We asked if we should seat ourselves and were told to go upstairs for more intimate seating... we did. Excited, we ordered 1/4 lb of ribs, 1/2 lb chicken, and baked beans. I was pleased that we had the option to select white or dark meat.
Cook time was fast at 3 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon, and we received our food within 10 minutes. After reading reviews, I was prepared for dry rub and BBQ sauces on the table. I didn't realize there was only one BBQ sauce option, and it was DISGUSTING.
The ribs were extremely tough and impossible to cut, remove from the bone, even chew. Chicken was moist and tasty, sans sauce. Beans were cooked in the same horrible sauce, so I didn't care for them.
Total bill came to $22 and some change, which was reasonable, if not inexpensive, for the portion sizes.
So, the food wasn't for us, but at least we got to enjoy the atmosphere... WRONG! "Baby it's Cold Outside" and other Christmas tunes were playing on the radio. It's July 27. Christmas in July, maybe?
Needless to say, I will not be returning to Union Pig & Chicken. I had higher hopes for Kevin Sousa...
